well most Americans do drive, and I'm sure even most of the people who don't drive still know what (what i call) roundabouts are. Its just an easy question to find out which regional dialect you use because different regions call it different names.
I say "route" both ways-- one is a verb, the other is a noun. Rowt is a verb, when pronounced "root" it becomes a noun. I thought everyone knew that.
"Tennis shoes" and "sneakers" are both the same to me. I use them equally.
The other one that got me was cellar vs basement. A basement is not necessarily a cellar-- they're different in the same way that the third story of a house is not necessarily an attic.
why do ppl say tennis shoes, tho? is/was tennis really that popular??
I don't think so. It's just something I've always said. I think it's a Midwestern thing.
Also, 1000th post!!!
